French term

French to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters From An Art History Book
Contexte:

Leur chef Robert Scholz, qui a toujours représenté dans l’ERR une spiritualité sans compromis, était parvenu auparavant à entraîner la conviction du Reichsleiter. Celui-ci n’attendait sans doute que ce prétexte et des circonstances favorables pour reprendre en mains la direction effective du service parisien.

Looking for a good way to express this without sounding overly redundant in relation to the previous clause in the original sentence.

Merci Beaucoup,

Barbara
